"Every meeting of the presidents gives a result and progress is made
after every meeting. At the St. Petersburg meeting it was possible to
create a positive atmosphere for the negotiations," Bernard Fassier,
French Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group (France) told APA.

He said co-chairs will pay the next visit to region just with this aim.

"We will specify the date of the visit in the next few days. We intend
to visit both Baku and Yerevan, but we are not sure to achieve it.

Everything depends on the schedules of the foreign ministers and
the presidents."

Fassier said they needed to visit Yerevan to learn the position of the
new leadership of Armenia. "The main duty of the co-chairs now is to
complete work on the basic principles considering proposals of both
sides." Fassier said there were some new points in the negotiations,
but didn’t make it public. He said co-chairs didn’t need much time
to complete their work. "Our aim is clear in this situation – we
will organize the meetings of the foreign ministers and presidents
of Azerbaijan and Armenia."
